OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
As the UK Government committed to end the sale of solely fossil-fuelled cars by 2030, the uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) is accelerating, and with it the demand for charging infrastructure. Meeting this demand among households who can’t charge at home is one of the biggest challenges for local policy-makers across the country. It is not only a question of capacity, but also location and service. What do residents want from local EV charging infrastructure and services? And how can their local authorities support them?
Join us at this webinar designed for transport practitioners and policy-makers, particularly those working in UK local governments, for the launch of three policy briefs by University of Oxford researchers:
Enabling the Acceleration of EV Adoption – discusses regional forecasting of EV uptake and the release of GECCO: the Geospatial Evaluator for EV Charging in Car parks Overnight.
Preferences for public EV charging – shares findings on consumer preferences for public charging in residential areas.
Charging when parking – a social change of routine – highlights the implications of adding EV charging to existing parking routines.
The webinar will also include a panel discussion with policy-makers from Oxfordshire County Council and OZEV sharing their first-hand experience of the challenges they’ve encountered and their successes in implementing public EV charging infrastructure.
